Casts method inside HasFlexible trait

[vladles]

Inside the HasFlexible trait (which we're using in FlexibleCast) we're returning the raw value (string) when in the following context :

if(app()->getProvider(NovaServiceProvider::class) && !app()->runningInConsole() && !app()->environment('testing')) {
    return $value;
}

In other words, if you're testing inside Nova itself it won't return the casted value (because the field will take care of it by itself). Is that your case ?

Could you explain this case - for what we need returns $value string if we want to use CASTS features?
